Denim Rug

This rug is finished, but you can see the rows of rectangles sewn to the big piece of denim. I ssewed them about 3/4 of an inch from each row(you'll be able to tell better in the next picture). The rugs fluff up after you wash them and the boys think they look awsome in their rooms.

Denim Rug

I started sewing the rectangles to the top of the bottom of the rug. As I sewed them down I was over lapping them by a 1/4 inch.

On the edges of the bottom denim, I folded over twice and sewes them. I now have the  bottom of the rug that will not ravel.

this is a bin with cut up rectangles of denim, my husband and kids we're throwing out their old jeans (yes, they were all holey), so I couldn't throw them away and decided to make ruge for the boys room, I did not want to go out and buy any.

Sorry it took me so long to get the pictures posted but the computer, printer and camera did'nt want to work.this is the beginning, this how big the underside of the rug is going to be, and yes it's denim.

Snow

I'm so glad I'm off from work today and tomorrow. Lots of snow fell this morning and I didn't go to bed until 7am this morning.  As for sewing I'm going to try and get it done today, I have a few projects that I'm working on; my oldest son's jeans, a pair of jeans for me, a dress for my niece, toys, and other clothing. We'll see what happens today.

computer problems

Well, the computer decided to take a dumped and between Scott and I we we're able to fix it....who knows how long it will last. I'm hoping till at least the end of the year till I can get a new one! I'm still working on the printer and picture issue...I ordered a new disk for the printer and I'm hoping that will solve the printer and photo issues. So, I'm working tonight and I'm off tomorrow and thursday, and with the pending snow storm I'll be glad to be stuck in the house. I'll be sewing away and noone to bother me, well, I'll tell them not to bother me.
